Summarizing and note taking are skills that will help students promote greater comprehension. By asking the students to look at a given subject then to analyze it and put it in their own words for better understanding. Research shows to do this students are required to substitute, delete, and keep some things while being aware of the basic structure of the information that is presented.
A couple applications that would help to get a better understanding for this would be:
Providing students with a set of rules to help create a summary
When it comes to summarizing, suggest that the students question what is unclear to them, clarify the unclear questions, and make a predict to what will happen next.
Research shows that taking more notes is better than fewer notes, though verbatim note taking is ineffective because it does not allow time to process the information. Teachers should encourage and give time for review and revision of notes; notes can be the best study guides for tests.
These are guidelines for effective summarizing and note taking:
To effectively summarize, students must delete some information, substitute some information, and keep some information.
To effectively delete, substitute, and keep information, students must analyze the information thoroughly.
Being aware of the explicit structure of information is an aid to summarizing information.
